Outside 79, Station Road, Ruskington

Reported via mobile in the Tree roots raising footpath category anonymously at 15:22, Wednesday 22 April 2026

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2889237.

It's a big lime tree growing on the pavement outside our house. The pavement is raised and is a trip hazard. We have witnessed an elderly lady who tripped and nearly fell over. Fortunately the lady didn't suffer any harm. This pavement has a lot of pedestrian on the way to and from the railway station and children to and from the local school. It's getting progressively worse as the tree gets bigger.
